Ceylon cinnamon
The kitchen essential, for your favourite sweet and savoury recipes
Cinnamon, one of the world's oldest spices, comes from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree, peeled off the shrub in the rainy season and dried. The bark then coils to form sticks.
Terra Madre Fairtrade ground cinnamon comes from SOFA (Small Organic Farmers Association) in the Kandy region of central Sri Lanka.
Spice composition
- Ceylon cinnamon*
*From organic farming.
Suggestions
Classic: desserts, rice pudding, tajines, jams and crepes
More original: there's nothing like a pinch of cinnamon to liven up mashed potatoes or squash.

Manque peut-être d'arome par rapport à d'autres cannelles, mais c'est de la cannelle de Ceylan, donc, meilleure à la santé.
